When Asbury Blagdon of Randolph, was
accideutly killed by the discharge of his gun,
the little shepherd dog that was always his
companion on his cunning expeditions, lay
down beside the body of his master and re-
msiutd throughout the day, aud on the arrival
of the coroner he would not allow a person to
approach, and it was only after long persuasion
and force that he could be moved. He was
then allowed to ride home beside the remains,
frequently uttering the most pitiful means.

State Fair Postponed.

On account of the very inelement
weather for the past few days, and the
probability of It's continuance. for sew
eral days to come, the Board of Control,
on yesterday, very wisely decided to
postpone the Fair until Monday next.
If the bright and beautiful weather with
which we have been so long favored, had
continued this week, the Fair would I'M
doubtedly have been a success, There
are more and better horses, and stock
generally now on the grounds, than we
have ever seen within the enclosure.
The display of field crops, orchard and
garden products, needlework, etc., prom
ises to be unusually full In the mean
time, let it be remembered that entries
can continue to be made until Monday
night. All articles sent to the grounds
will be assigned to their proper depart
ments, and will be duly cared for. A
sufficient force of watchmen will be Oh
duty until the close of the fair.

This Issue of The CLARION.

The CLARION has long been a medium
through which many of the leading
minds of the State communicate with
the people on questions of public inter
est; and It's pages, though of ample pro
portions, are often unequal to the de
mands upon them. This feature has of
ten been noticed in appreciative expires
sions from our readers.
The present issue, for instance, con
tains third letter from Senator George
the ablest and most interesting, in our
judgment, of the series; a reply to Sen
ator Georges first letter, by Judge A.
NJ. Clayton, one of the members OF
the original Board of Trustees OF
the State University; letter from
ex-President Davis on Bishop Gal
loway's Reply; and letter from Rev.
DIR. Teasdale on our Educational Insti-
buttons. These and other topics that
enter into the makeup of this nu NJ Der
make it one of special value.

Respect for the Memory of Henry I
Elicit and Reuben o. REYNOLDS.

At the session of the Supreme Court
Monday morning, Judge S. s. Calhoon, at
the request of Attorney General Miller,
announced to the Court the death of Judge
II. I. Elicit and Col. r. o. Reynolds, where
upon the Court adjourned for one day out
of respect for their memory. Immediately
after the adjournment of the Court a bar
meeting was organized with Judge J. Nj.
Arnold as Chairman and Oliver Clifton
as Secretary, and, on motion of Attor-
ney General Miller, it was resolved that
the chairman appoint two committees
to prepare suitable resolutions commemo-
rative of the virtues of Judge Elicit and
Colonel Reynolds, and report at an ad-
journed meeting to be held in the Court
room on the first Monday of January next.
The meeting was largely attended, a
number of visiting lawyers being present.
The names of the committeeman will be
hereafter announced.

of the College are practical men, who
understand the financial condition and
educational needs of the State. They
have given US an institution which meets
the approval and hearty commendation
of the best educators in the United
States, and which has given the State

else within her borders. Although the
institution was opened scarcely two
years ago, it has already widened the
sphere of woman's usefulness and actiy-
ity. In this and other States, young
ladies, trained at the /. /. & c., find EN-
ployment as stenographers, type-writers,
printers, practical dress-makers, and
book-keepers. Girls who seek such al
education as this, are those who need
and expect TO earn their own living, and
not the daughters of the wealthy men Of
the State.

emies, and there are those who insis
that this school should be abolished

Jefferson and Lincoln Floateral Con
ventIon.

We are indebted to o. H. McGinty, Esq,
for copy of the official proceedings of
| the Floateral Convention held at Fayette
on Wednesday last. Hon. R. H. Thomp-
son, of Lincoln, was Chairman, and o. H.
McGinty, Esq, of Jefferson, was Secretary.
Each county was declared entitled to ten
votes. The ballots from to 413 resulted:
Lincoln county-10 votes for A. M. Sum
mers; jefferson county-10 for Joe Smylie.
From 215 to 225 the ballots stood: Lincoln
10 for Summers; Jefferson-10 for j. j.
Whitney. From 226 to $50 the vote stood ::
Lincoln-A Lewenthal, Jr., 10; Jefferson
J. j. Whitney, 10. Mr.. Lewenthal, after a
brief and pithy address, and compliment
tary reference to Capt. Whitney, asked the
delegates from Lincoln to cast their votes
for his distinguished competitor, when, on
motion of DR.. Applewhite, Capt. Whitney
was declared elected by reclamation.
Capt. Whitney was one of the ablest and
most useful members of the last Senate;
and, so long as he is not to continue service
in that Body, we are pleased to know tina
he will be fioated into the House.

Mr.. Davis Makes Some Comments
on Bishop Galloway's Reply.

BEAUyoIR, Miss, October Is, 1887.
EDITOR CLARION: In your issue of 2Sth
of September was published nominal
reply to my open letter to Bishop Gallo
way. l say nominal, because it is not a
reply to what | had written, or, by fair
implication, could be supposed to have
thought. 1t required less than his admitted
ability to overthrow positions he had him
self constructed. For example, he assumes
that / had admitted that local option"
was applicable to county, and then
deduces as sequence its applicability to a
State. 1 did not specify a county, but
used the expression, marrow limits"
did not say, as he puts 1t, majority voice
of the people," but a sufficient majority,
meaning such narrow limits as would have
homogeneity of the population, and such
majority as would prevent agitation for
reversal of the decision by another cleo
ton, thus to ensure the existence of pop
ular opinion to enforce the execution OF
the rule adopted. This might or might
not be the case in a county, but beyond
that, the greater number of square miles
and degrees of longitude and latitude, the
greater would be the probability of diver
gent opinions and needs. So much for the
charge of lack of logical consistency on
my part.
1 have, after delay, obtained the accepted
biography of Father Matthew by John
Francis Mcguire, NJ. p, and do not find that
in the closing years of his life he despaired
of the means he had with such great sue
cess employed to correct the evil of intern
perance; but from the bed from which he
was never to rise, he continued to receive
those who came to take the pledge from
him, and that, invoking Gods blessing, he
administered it, and, with palsied hand.
made the sign of the cross upon their fore
heads. If he doubted the efficacy of the tenn
perance pledge, and asserted or sought by
prohibitory legislation to correct the evil
of intemperance, l have not found the
proof of that fact. Therefore he is again
cited as an example of what may be done
for temperance by gentle persuasion and
religious influence, the awakening of con-
science to moral responsibility, and the
development of the virtue whereby man is
made free. Yours respectfully,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Hon. J. Il. George, Jackson, Miss
Esteemed Sir: Seeing in tbs CLARION
that you were requested TO furnish the
law and the facts in regard to the State
Colleges, my interest in the Girls Col
lege at Columbus prompts me to write
this letter to you.
A State College for white girls was
first agitated in Mississippi about the
year 1879. The late Senator r. o. Rey-
nolds introduced the first "bill' for such
an institution in the Legislature of Mis-
sissippi (see Senate Journal 1880, DID. 279
and 352). In 1881 the Fusion" party
put plank in their platform favoring
a State College for white girls, and in
August, the same year, the Democratic
Convention adopted resolution declar-
ing it to be "the highest duty of the
Legislature to establish, with an ample
endowment, State institution for the
education of our daughters" In De-
cember, 1881, the State Grange made its
first deliverance in favor of State Col
lege for white girls, which it reiterated
at each subsequent meeting until the
College was established. There was a
demand, then, for a Girls College, not

The Constitution of the State provides
for the maintenance of a uniform sys-
tenn of public schools, and says, further,
that as soon as practicable, the Legisla-
ture shall establish schools OF higher
grade" Schools of higher grade were
established in Mississippi for every other
class but white girls, and it was Just
that at least one such institution should |
be provided for them. There was, and

The foregoing figures sustain the fol-
lowing conclusions;
(1) From January l, 1876 to January
1, 1888, there was a decrease of S747,-
$50. 50 in the total debt; $962, 544.05 in
the payable debt; $500, 1886 in the
total debt less cash; $771, 7S0.l2 in the
payable debt less cash. During the
same period there was an increase OF
S2l5, 00416 in the non-payable debt.
(2) From January l, 1888, to January
l, 1887, there was an increase of $685.
$50. 20 in the total debt; 1858, 5l1.64 in
the payable debt; 77,21s.00 in the
total debt less cash; $685., 0S6,44 in the
payable debt less cash; and s., 1876 in
the non-payable debt.

not be successfully disputed.

THE STATE DEBT.

Having reviewed the reports of the
Treasurer of the Indebtedness OF. the
State January l, 1876, and thereaf-
ter, and made such comments and
criticisms as seemed to be necessary that
a clear and accurate understanding of
the doings at the State Treasury might
be had, we propose now to restate the
debt by years, on the following basis,
the reasons for which having already
been given in previous articles:
1. By adding to the non-payable debt
of January /, 1876, the sum of SOC, $685.
p, included in the cash balance and al
so deducted from the non-payable debt.
2. By adding to the total debt and the
non-payable debt, wherever it has been
omitted by the Treasurer, the sum of
$544, 061.23, known as the Seminary or
University Fund, first appearing in the
debt statement for 1881.
3. By deducting from the total debt
and from the non-payable debt the sum
of s1S5, 26997, warrants belonging to the
Chickasaw School Fund, wherever it has
been included by the Treasurer, these
warrants forming part of the item OF
"warrants outstanding" in all the state
ments prior to that OF January l, 1888,
while they were, in fact, the property OF
the State.
| 4. By adding to the non-payable debt
where omitted, after January l
| 1876, the Agricultural College Bonds
1927, 1907, which constitute a perma
nent fund, and were treated by the
Treasurer as part of the payable debt
till January l, 1888.
5. By treating the currency deposited
/, by insurance companies as part of the
cash balance, and emitting it from tn
non-payable debt.
g. By adding to the debt statement o
. January l, 1888, the warrants outsta nd
, ing 1886, S23.65), and the certificates o
Indebtedness outstanding ($2,665O0)
which were inadvertently omitted b
{ the Treasurer.
T. By crediting the cash on hand Jan
uary l, 1885, and 1886.
: s. BY adding to the debt statement o
1885, the sum of s9,470,33, due the Va
zoo Delta Levee Board, and to the deb
: statement of 1886 the sum of Sol $40 Ga
due it at that date.
4 These changes make a considerabl
e difference in the statements for som
, years, and but little in those for Others
g By comparing them with the debt table
heretofore published, it will be seen tina
E in many instances the increase or d.
$ crease between years is exactly tn
: same.
II 1t will be noticed that the total deb
and the non-payable debt are given a
e reported in each year, so that the caus
: of the difference in results, may be seen
